Item Preview
Includes bibliographical references and index
"The heartbroken expression of our time" -- Northern Europe and the first modernist collectors: the international avant-garde and the market -- The "other" Germany: modern art, German nationalism, and the making of the modern museum -- Modern art and the Third Reich: propaganda, confiscation, and export -- Postwar New York -- The 1980s -- Japan
The author traces the history of the portrait of Van Gogh's physician, painted just weeks before Van Gogh's suicide, and shows that "this painting not only evokes the ethos of modern life but also illuminates the ways in which art, politics, and the market have intersected in the twentieth century."--Jacket
